Creative equals flexibility... I am struggling with it right now. You know what saves me after work? I do cross-stitching
Another unstated assumption is that one necessarily exists. After all, every last experience we have ever had has been with ourselves being there, experiencing it.

This leads to the idea that we will cease to exist to just be unbelievable, as it's contrary to everything we have ever experienced. From this I think we get the idea of some essence separate from our biology and the idea of its continuation after death.
Except that TFA is using `getDisplayLanguage`

public void updateAppLanguage(Context context) {
String languageCode = Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage();
Locale locale = new Locale(languageCode);
Locale.setDefault(locale);

... which the JDK docs say:

>Returns a name for the locale's language that is appropriate for display to the user.

So maybe `getLanguage` is broken or maybe it isn't, but it seems wrong to use `getDisplayLanguage` for this purpose regardless.

(What even is the point of doing `Locale.setDefault()` with the same Locale that `Locale.getDefault()` returned? I don't know anything about Android.)
Ouch. The Census Bureau has done that for the census of business and industry for many decades, but there it's done by omitting data. If there's only one semiconductor company in a county, no data on that industry will be provided for that county. The general rule was that there have to be at least three companies in an area before data will be disclosed. (Two is too few; if you're one of them, you can subtract your own numbers from the total and get the data for your competitor.)

If the rule of 3 is applied to the population census, and blocks average 23 people, then no minority with less than 13% of the population can typically be reported at the block level. That knocks out most racial minorities. So it's a problem for redistricting.

I am building my own web platform based solely on web standards, without relying on any CLI or frameworks.

---
https://RTCode.io is my real-time web playground with 2-way IO sync.

(Check out the multi-device remote sync video on the home page!)

I created this playground while working on https://try.WebPDF.pro PDF web components. It allowed me to view and edit the light DOM state of my components without reloading the page and losing the DOM state.

---

https://RTEdge.net is the edge network where the playground deploys code.

You can code an in-editor service worker on RTCode.io (which works inside the editor and keeps its internal state until you edit it again) that deploy to the edge with a single click. Edge workers are paired with enterprise-grade storage options KV, R2, ...

See https://new.rt.ht → Backend for more details.

Deployments can be edited by appending '?' at the end of the pathname: <https://new.rt.ht/?>

Code Versions is a new feature I am working on that gives users full history, diffs, rollback, and a whole lot more!

---

Both the web playground and the edge network will launch publicly in 2024 (around Christmas?), after being in closed alpha for over a year.

(I say closed but anyone can Sign in with a provider and start deploying code today. Editing does not even require sign in.)

They have already proven to be incredibly useful for several teams who appreciate the power and simplicity of web standards.

Upon launch, these platforms will position themselves between CodePen and Vercel, offering superior features while maintaining laser-sharp focus on speed, efficiency, and the discipline to say no to bloat, hype, and complexity.
Can that record the system audio too? I mean not just the microphone like in Quicktime.
Some Honda models have cellular modems but many don't. I have a 2019 Ridgeline that does not. My data uplinks to Honda only via a bluetooth connection to my phone or WiFi (both of which I disabled).

As of 2020, the Insight Touring, Accord Touring, Pilot Touring and up, Passport Touring and up, and Odyssey Touring and up were the only Honda models that come with a cellular modem. Newer models do have cellular modems, but it may be possible to disable these simply by unplugging the modem from the ODB-II port. (Or by wrapping the modem in a RF-blocking material).
I think a lot of people have an old phone lying around somewhere. And it's a game/ leizure activity it's still pretty accessible, it you want to do absolutely everything yeah you gonna had to spend some time or money. I don't think there's a problem with that, it's still enjoyable without going that hard.
Sounds like something comparable to LazyGit. https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit
Customer in this situation is the corporation - it's not much different; someone pays for some result. And there's enough reasons to hire programmers even when they don't write any code (look at the amount of people FANG hire - programmers who actually write code are minority).
We use time tracking at work and I have a daily goal that I need to meet. I wrote a small Vite React app to visualize how well am I doing on a given day, week, month, how many hours I need to make up, how many I'm missing, etc.

The coolest feature is probably the dynamic SVG in the favicon that shows the daily progress.

I wrote it to motivate myself, but in reality it was actually a fairly significant demotivator unless I actually met the target consistently - then it suddenly became very motivating to keep the streak going.
A large part of that is "thanks" to IP licensing laws. A lot of stuff can be shown on TV with no issues, but not streamed or, in some extreme cases like Cold Case, sold as physical media.
I miss Borland TurboC++. loved the simple drop down based TUI. the only thing I wish it has today would be good integrated symbol browsing and debugger. pair that with a tmux session and you are golden.
>but will hopefully last long enough that the pendulum swings back towards simplicity and accessibility

I'm not at all convinced that the pendulum exists. I think we fell down a greasy slope.
No, that is nonsense.

A competent organization would not make the function call take longer by a random amount of time. You would just do it normally then add the random fudge factor to the normal result. That is not only more efficient, it also allows more fine-tuned control, the randomization is much more stable, and it is just plain easier to implement.

Though I guess I should not put it past them to do something incompetent given that they either implemented their native clocks poorly as the article says, or they incompetently implemented a Spectre mitigation as you theorize.
yeah but you don't really need to wash it that often, at least
Huh! I think I'll respond just for the sake of adding to the conversation: otherwise I mostly just lurk in here.

I read a lot of books on my Kobo e-reader and I wanted a way to retrieve the highlights of each book (a highlight is the result of gesturing over a piece of text, locally saving it on the device). But a given sentence could flow over to the next page, or a highlight could have been poorly taken (due to the previous reason, or sausage fingers, etc.) — and so I needed to retrieve context for each highlight as well.

Since I use TiddlyWiki for my personal "second-brain", I created a simple tool (using Textualize, a terminal user interface framework for Python) that retrieves highlights, provides context and allows for live-manipulation of context to achieve the correct highlight to save; it then makes a tiddler out of it. It's neat!

Here's the github if you want to have a look. It's not really anything professional, but it has been doing the job for me.

I think a lot of open source is better than the commercial stuff if and only if you're willing to put in a substantial amount of time learning it.

For example, I think LaTeX gives better results for documents than Word typically does. The spacing between letters is nicer, the fonts are nicer, everything just ends up looking better IMO, but LaTeX is a pain in the ass to learn. You have to kind of learn a bit of a strange markup syntax, you get a decidedly non-interactive means of writing equations, it can be hard to get pictures lined up correct etc. The end result might be worth it, but you had to work a lot harder to get there.

Another example, ffmpeg is great for all kinds of video conversion and splicing and extraction and whatnot, but it requires learning a bunch of command line flags and details about bitrates and the like. It's great at nearly everything it does, I use it all the time, but it's definitely something that a lot of non-CS people are going to struggle with.

I think this is partly why Linux and other open source has caught on so much in the infrastructure space; if you're someone who is setting up and deploying servers, you probably don't mind learning some of the minutia about systemd or bash scripting.

I feel like proprietary apps win on user-friendly interfaces. Microsoft Word, in my opinion, is generally better than LibreOffice (and Excel is certainly better than Calc). Much as I love desktop Linux, I don't think I'll ever be able to get my parents to use for more than twenty minutes before they get frustrated.
on the one hand this is pretty funny. On the other hand: if you want to experience the entirety of a game without traveling, why play a location-based game at all?
From the CFTC's official website:

"The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is an independent U.S. government agency that regulates the U.S. derivatives markets, including futures, options, and swaps."

Also from their official website: 20 quadrillion per week in settled trades. Too lazy to look up the equities numbers, but I would bet everything I own it's lower.

Also from the CFTC's website:

"Bitcoin is considered a commodity and is the underlying asset in bitcoin futures contracts… Bitcoin futures contracts — like other commodity futures contracts such as corn futures, market index futures, or gold futures — are regulated by the CFTC and must trade on CFTC-regulated exchanges."

Asian car makers are a bit special. Both privacy and cybesercurity is at 1995 levels. KIA, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai are worst in class in every aspect.

I'm also assuming OP didn't really intend to pay if they're coming to a tool that they'll use for 5 minutes. They don't see the value in paying, I'm just reading between the lines there.

Maybe its still better to let them get a long free trial so they tell their friends about it, I dunno. Not a marketer, but it struck me as kind of disingenuous that if you came back to a tool after 3 months where you know you need to use it, they still don't want to pay.
The irony of the Unix philosophy is that it's the antithesis of a computer. The entire point of a computer is to be a machine that can do anything if it's connected to the right hardware.

As computers are cheap and reliable now it's not surprising to me that we can make products that do more than one thing, and it's desirable to consumers.

The problem is when manufacturers start making these computers do things customers don't want and hiding it from them. And that's what regulation should support, since the market can't pick and choose which useful bits of an arbitrary machine are allowed to be used in a product when the manufacturer can reprogram it at will and never tells you what it does.

> Wishing to live in a world in which no one could ever break the law, or in which companies were somehow magically responsible for guaranteeing no one would ever misuse their products is not a good outcome. It would lead to a horrific mess of mostly useless tools, ruined by the small group of people who might misuse them.

I've built a programmable tooltip on Mac for using at work. You write your own provider script.

You can select a text on any app and activate a tooltip to do things like jumping to a URL using that string, converting epoch millis to date. I used it possibly hundreds of times a week when I worked at Stripe, mostly for object lookup.

Here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/universal-tip/id1495732622

The difference between this tooltip and other tooltips like PopClip is that the tooltip runs in App Sandbox, doesn't request any permission, and doesn't see anything except the selected string that you use for activating tooltip. It's extremely privacy-focused.

Then, I also built a mouse utility, so I can activate the tooltip using a mouse button: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/noo-mouse/id1514904040
yes I do too. I do wish its ui navigation was a bit more 'humane'. more often than not I end up switching to next commit instead of next page.
> The thing is, the facts are that propaganda and fake news are super effective. Probably a failure of western democracies to develop critical sense of their citizens,

Something about thermodynamics. Random noise is free. Exposing lies and ascertaining the truth requires structure, observation, flexibility, organization, introspection, correlation, adaptation— a lot of things that take a lot of effort in multiple different ways, that is physically and socially both difficult/expensive and fragile/vulnerable.

Propaganda and fake news are not really different from a sleazy salesman, or an abusive relationship. In the time it takes you to fly a journalist to the scene, speak with and hear the experiences of people on the ground, find patterns and write accurate, digestable descriptions and cite precedents, consult with experts­, then with dissenters— So on— In the time it takes you to move just one single step closer to the truth, for an answer that still leaves complex questions and won't satisfy anybody, the liar will already have invented a thousand completely new ways to lie (as well as a couple hundred reasons why you must be the lying one, for disputing them, of course). …Or hired some guy to drive a meat cleaver in your back…

Plus, lies are often directly predatory towards some of the best parts of ourselves too… The desire to trust, and assume good faith, about what other people tell you…

> or the lake of preparation to the quick rise of social networks.

Our mental and social faculties for ascertaining and communicating realities are ultimately encoded in physical structures which tend towards chaos and collapse.

…I suppose it is to be expected that vastly increasing the rate at which information can be "generated" and transmitted would cause the equilibrium to be dominated by r-strategists. ..Ah, fuck.

Better to let them live as they would like and learn math only if they would like.

If your kids were really gifted or really inclined to learn it, you wouldn't need to research it yourself.

Around that age 10-12 they generally can use the internet and already have their own interests, and are smart enough to Google it and build stuff by themselves.

If you keep getting that much involved in their lives they will have development issues. You only get involved if they are really slow and get a professional to help.
Time-based free trials are fine for one-time purchases I think. It's basically the equivalent of a return window, without collecting money upfront.

Where they don't make sense is for subscriptions, because subscriptions are by definition something your users will be using for a long time, and it might take them a while to realize all of its value and get hooked.

For this stuff a free tier that funnels customers to the paid tiers usually works best. You can play with limitations by restricting features, or usage, or anything else, but you probably shouldn't restrict them based on how much time has elapsed since they first signed up. Let them get hooked at their own pace.

There are several German brands selling fleece jackets made of boiled wool.

They are quite nice to be honest, and the price is not very different from decent synthetics.

Also boiled wool is not tricky to wash. Even regular wool is not hard to wash. If you have a washing machine with a wool program and you use soap specific for wool, things are straightforward.

We should favor natural fabrics. Synthetics are polluting during manufacturing and wear, plus they are hard to recycle. Externalities that turn into future debt.
lazydocker [0] is by the same author as lazygit. I'm thoroughly familiar with the Docker CLI, but sometimes it's just easier to use a GUI or TUI for some things. In particular, I use lazydocker for cleaning up volumes or images that may no longer be needed.

Sort of.

I created my own static site generator. It allows me to work faster, fully offline, with version control and on slow hardware (at the time, a 12" Macbook). It made my work much easier than when I did updated content through a CMS.

Aside from that, a lot of small optimisations. Sublime Text build systems, shortcuts to switch between projects, SSH aliases, clever dotfile functions, deploy-on-push, and so on.
This is one of the underappreciated downsides to living in the middle of the country, imo, but ironically if you're doing that, a person is maybe more likely to be shooting for a bungalow at some point than someone in any reasonably populated area, whereas people in those areas have seen a home go so far out of reach that travel is relatively inexpensive if you just give up on other traditional outlays for cash

A 2 week solo trip to EU can be like ~$2k, and if that's among the most expensive aspirations you have, that could be feasible and you'll get a hell of a lot more out of it than Pokemon.

We do synthetics and heartbeat monitoring for quite some companies (link in bio) but this problem is a bit trickier, or let's say "three sided"

1. Yes, a synthetic check is very useful here to just see if a user facing "thing" is still working.

2. a heartbeat check / deadman's switch can also work here, but it will only be reliable when the monitored event has a predefined cadence, e.g. "every 5 minutes this should happen".

3. The lack / absence of metrics flowing into a system is also sign. This would typically be solved by the Signoz team where they would alert on not seeing some specific event happening for x time. This can be tricky if the event is directly related to a user interaction.

Super big disclaimer: founder at a monitoring company that solve 1 and 2, not 3.
If people donate hardware - probably yes.
If people with such hardware would be willing to run tests, then probably yes.
Otherwise - my guess would be no, no specific testing for such drivers would be made.
